WV. Ed. RoBsoS, II. D., L. R c. s. L,
u K Q. c. P. l., late Of the Royal Navy,
Of England, has got into professional
trouble for writing the following open let
ter TO the editor of the London Family
Doctor.
81 believe 1t to be the duty of every ply
stefan to make known any means or remedy
whereby sickness can be prevented, and it
is for this purpose / write to give my ex-
perience both here and abroad. ] ask the
publication of the statement that people
NAV be warned before it Is too late, to say
/. to them that there Is at hand means by
which they may be restored to perfect
health 1t is well known to the medical
world, and, indeed, to the laity, that a GER
tain disease is making terrible havoc;
that next to consumption it Is the most
q fatal, AID that when fully developed there
is nothing to be done for the sufferer"
! physicians and scientists have long been
: trying to throw light upon the cause, and If
possible, find in nature medicine for this
fatal malady. They have shown, absolute
ly, that the blood: purifying organs OF vital
Importance, are the kidneys, and that when
. they once fail, the poison which they should
take out OF the blood is carried by the blood
into every part of the body, developing dis
ease"
/ "In my hospital practice in England,
!
surgeon IN the Royal Navy OF Great Brit
/ ain, / gave great deal OF attention to the
/ study of diseases of the kidneys and urinary
/ organs, and found that not only was the
! cure of chronic Bright's Disease hopeless,
/ but that kidney disease was remarkably
prevalent. much more so than generally
/ known, and was the cause of the majority
! of cases of sickness, and further, that the
medical profession has no remedy which
exerts any absolute control over these
/ organs in disease"
! "Some time ago when had case which
/ resisted all regular treatment,-which is
/ very limited, with the pass
! ing of stones from the kidneys, much
against my will l permitted my patient to
/ use Warmers safe cure, of which l had
heard marvellous results. In his case the
/ result was simply marvellous, as the attack
was a severe one, and development very
! grave, for an analysis showed per cent. of
I albumen and granular tube casts"
! THE action OF the medicine was singular
and incomprehensible to me. had never
seen anything like it The patient recov-
cred promptly, and is to-day well and
healthy man. This stimulated my inquiry
/ into the merits of the remedy, and after
analysis found it to be Of purely vegeta-
! BILE character, harmless to take under all
/ circumstances"
Casting aside all professional prejudice
! gave it a thorough trial, as was anxious
that my patients should be restored to
| health, no matter by what medicine. l
1 prescribed it in q great variety of cases,
/ Acute, Chronic, Bright's Disease, Con ges-
! ton of the Kidneys, Catarrh Of the Bladder,
! and in every instance did it speedily effect
| : cure"
s'For this reason 1 deem it my duty to
give the world this statement regarding
| he value of Warmers safe cure. make
This statement on facts l am prepared to
produce and substantiate. l appeal to
! physicians OF large practice who know how
/ common and deceptive diseases of the kid
neys are, to lay aside professional prejudice,
| give their patients Warmers safe cure, re-
store them to perfect health, earn their
gratitude, and thus be true physicians"
81 am satisfied that more than one-half
! If the deaths which occur in England are
/ caused, primarily, by impaired action Of
the kidneys, and the consequent retention
! in the blood of the poisonous uric and kid
ney acid. Warmers safe cure causes the
! kidneys to eXpel this poison, checks the es-
cape of albumeu, relieves the Inflammation
and prevents illness from impaired and i'm
poverished blood. Having had more than
seventeen years. experience in my profess
sion, l conscientiously and emphatically
state that have been able to give more re-
lief and effect more cures by the use OF
Warmers safe cure than by all the other
medicines ascertainable to the profession,
the majority of which, l am sorry to say,
are very uncertain in their action"
isn't that a straightforward, manly
letter."
'Indeed it is"
"Well, but do you know the author has
been dreadfully prosecuted for writing lta"
''How so! What has he done to merit it 2"
'Done? He has spoken the truth out of
school, and his fellow physicians, who
want the public to think they have a mo-
nopOly in curing diseases, are terribly
angry with him for admitting professional
inability to reach certain disorders.
THAT letter created q wonderful sensa-
ton among the titled classes and the pub
lie. This Jared the doctors terribly. The
College of Surgeons and Queens College,
from which institution he was graduated,
asked for an explanation of his unprofes-
sional conduct, and notified him that unless
he made retraction they would discipline
him.
"The doctor replied that he allowed his
patients to make use or Warmers safe cure
only after all the regular methods had failed
and when he was satisfied that there was
no possible hope for them. Upon their re-
covery, after having used Warmers safe
cure, he was so much surprised that he
wrote the above letter to the Family Doc
TOR. He regretted that the faculties found
fault with his action in the matter, but he
could not conScientiouSly retract the facts
as written to the Fanliiy Doctor.
"The faculties of both colleges replied
that unless he retracted they should cut
him off, which would naturally debGr him
from again prGctiei7t9 his profession, and also
prevent his securing another appointment
in the Royal Navy!"
The illustrious Doctors dilemma is GER
tainly an unpleasant one, emphasizing, as
it does, both his own honesty, and the con-
temptible prejudice and bigotry of English
medical men. The masses, however, hav-
ing no sympathy with their nonsense, keep
on using the remedy he 50 highly recon-
mends and get well, while the rich and
able depend upon the prejudiced doctors
and die!
